During the second and the third training session performance dramatically improved but only when subjects received correct feedback on their responses.
Participants completed eight practice trials with feedback on their responses before completing three test blocks of 128 trials.
The presentation of boxes in each condition was counterbalanced and children received no feedback on their responses.
Subjects were instructed to indicate which of the two stimuli was brighter; they received no feedback on their responses.
About a third of respondents (33%) wanted feedback based on their responses.
The latter was accomplished by offering the respondents the possibility to receive individualised feedback based on their responses, which, together with an option to respond via the Internet, was expected to enhance the response rate.
Following the tutorial, the participants completed a single practice interpretation with specific feedback provided based on their response.
Clinicians, on the other hand, tended to give patients positive feedback on their clinical response, while often being unaware of any adherence problems.
Second round: Participants will receive feedback on their own response along with the group opinion for each domain from the previous round.
